An Ruyi did not return to the General's Mansion, but stayed in the Duke's Mansion.

A small courtyard has been set up here just for her. If she wants to live there, she can come over at any time.

After returning to the courtyard, she kept thinking about what Chen Daixu said.

Her intuition told her that Chen Daixu was lying.

Chen Daixu should know Xiao Qi's location, but strangely, she is unwilling to tell it.

Logically speaking, the lives of Chen Daixu and An Ruyi are connected. Their positions are consistent and there is no need to be secretive.

But now...

An Ruyi felt a little confused. She was always a little uneasy, as if something was starting to get out of control.

She stayed in the Duke's Mansion for several days and did not return to the General's Mansion until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She originally wanted to wait and see at the Duke's Mansion, waiting for Xiao Qi to come back.

After all, Xiao Qi and Chen Dai Xu couldn't communicate mentally as she could at a glance. If anything happened, they would definitely have to meet to discuss it.

So she kept following Chen Daixu, hoping to catch someone, but unfortunately, she didn't wait.

When An Ru returned to the general's mansion, the mansion was already decorated with lights and decorations.

Small and exquisite lanterns are hung high and densely connected.

Everyone in the General's Mansion was there, and Chen Huai and Chen Dai Xu also came with her.

All of a sudden, the general's residence became extremely lively.

A large family gathers together and talks to each other about everything. The atmosphere is extremely harmonious and very reassuring.

Chen Daixu and An Ruyi, the only girls among their grandchildren, accompanied Chen Huaiyu to drink tea in the yard.

Most of the men still practiced martial arts, while Zhao Pandi and the old lady were making pastries in the kitchen.

Although everyone is doing their own thing, they are not far from each other. As long as they speak louder, they can communicate without any hindrance.

Those grown men were competing in martial arts in the corner, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Chen Daixu couldn't help feeling envious as she looked at the warmth that filled the yard.

“It turns out that this is how normal people celebrate the holidays, talking and laughing, and making fun of each other.

The elders are tolerant and easy-going, and they will not scold the younger ones, let alone have so many messy rules to abide by.

Were you relaxed and happy like this during the Chinese New Year in previous years? "

An Ruyi smiled and her voice became a little gentler. The cold feeling of the past few days disappeared completely at this moment.

"Yes, the atmosphere in our family has always been so good.

After all, this is the normal way for a family to get along.

There are tolerances, fights, tolerance, and strictness between family members. My sister may not have experienced the feeling of this.

After all, Chen Wenyuan and his wife don't seem to be very nice, so I wonder if they are harsh to you on weekdays? "

Chen Daixu smiled bitterly, "You thought you would know better... They are indeed very strict. I have learned a lot under their arrangement since I was a child.

Whether I like it or not, I learned it all.

This life is really boring, just like a bird or beast trapped in a cage, without any freedom. "

An Ru raised her eyebrows, "Then you should be considered a canary. You can be fed and raised well. Not everyone has this kind of treatment.

Moreover, their love for you is real, and you should feel it more than me. "

The two sisters talked like they were playing riddles. Chen Huaiyu couldn't understand them, so he just listened quietly and didn't speak.

The two looked at each other and smiled, ending the topic in perfect agreement.

The servants around were walking around, busy setting up the place.

As night falls slowly, red lanterns hang all over the sky, sweet mooncakes and the bustle of people add liveliness to the courtyard.Zhifu and Gu Yue were both busy making small lanterns, and the sound of laughter came from them from time to time.

Chen Huaiyu looked around and then asked An Ruyi doubtfully,

"Xiao Yi'er, why isn't Xiao Qi here? This kid usually likes to be lively, but why is he so missing now?

Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a while. Did you send her out? "

An Ru was stunned for a moment, then said without changing his expression:
"Yes, there are some things that it needs to do in person, so it won't be able to come back for a while and won't be able to spend the holidays with us.

It should also want to come back..."

Would you like to come back?An Ruyi is not sure either.

She smiled at Chen Huaiyu, then took off the bracelet and tried to contact Xiao Qi.

But what disappointed her was that this time, she didn't sense Xiao Qi like last time.

My mind was empty, the weak connection was calm and without any response.

She looked at the busy courtyard, feeling a little disappointed in her heart.

Yes, Xiao Qi has always been with her. Whether it is New Years, holidays or ordinary days, there is always Xiao Qi by her side.

Now that we are celebrating the holidays without it, it’s no wonder that we feel like something is missing.

Chen Daixu came close to An Ruyi and said softly: "Are you thinking about Xiao Qi? Maybe he is thinking about you too..."

An Ruyi's pupils shrank, and his whole body became alert instantly.

Chen Daixu's tone was really strange, and she gave people a very bad feeling.

It's like knowing everything but refusing to say anything.

But some news will be revealed from time to time, which makes people think a lot.

"Since you miss me, why don't you come back? Are you afraid to see me, or are you unwilling to see me?"

An Ruyi also lowered his voice.

Chen Daixu smiled inexplicably, "Who knows, how about you go and ask it directly?
I am an outsider, how can I know what it is thinking. "

An Ruyi frowned, suddenly wanting to drive Chen Daixu out.

Chen Huaiyu noticed that An Ruyi's expression was wrong and immediately asked softly: "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Chen Huaiyu pointed outside the courtyard and said, "Look, who is coming outside."

An Ruyi looked in the direction pointed by Chen Huaiyu, and then saw two brothers, Duan Suixuan and Duan Jingfan, walking in together.

Afterwards, Chen Daixu stood up with a smile and went to greet them.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Xuan are here. Why didn't you notify them in advance?"

Duan Jingfan had a smile on his lips, "I wasn't sure whether I could come before, so I didn't give any advance notice.

My sudden visit now shouldn’t disturb you, right? "

Chen Huaiyu: "Don't bother me. You guys came just in time. We are just about to prepare dinner!"

An Ruyi stood aside, watching Chen Daixu and Duan Jingfan chatting happily, and felt a little strange.

She had no idea when the relationship between the two had become so good.

After the Duan Suixuan brothers, Xie Xueyun also came.

An Ruyi looked at the yard full of people, and then at the people who had a close relationship with her, and who would even become a family in the future, and felt filled with emotion.

The moon waxes and wanes, people have joys and sorrows, and during the rare reunion, Xiao Qi is not there.
